Fatty liver
Fatty liver, also known as fatty liver disease (FLD), is a reversible condition wherein large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells via the process of steatosis (i.e., abnormal retention of lipids within a cell). Despite having multiple causes, fatty liver can be considered a single disease that occurs worldwide in those with excessive alcohol intake and the obese (with or without effects of insulin resistance). The condition is also associated with other diseases that influence fat metabolism. It is difficult to distinguish alcoholic FLD from nonalcoholic FLD, and both...

@TomO'Connor No faith in the previous owners maintenance and they come with expensive bills. No way I have the skills or equipment to touch a DSG box
@Jacob I never got that - you surely have the basic human instinct of survival, no?

@JourneymanGeek Porsche call it Tiptronic, BMW call it something else.. DSG is VW's name for a double-clutch semiautomatic gearbox

@TomO'Connor Tiptronic is really any auto system that allows you select gears - DSG is specifically dual clutch which is a whole different world to an old fashioned slushbox

Direct-Shift Gearbox
A direct-shift gearbox (), commonly abbreviated to DSG, is an electronically controlled dual-clutch and with full automatic, or semi-manual control. The first actual dual-clutch transmissions derived from Porsche in-house development for 962 racing cars in the 1980s. In simple terms, a DSG is two separate manual gearboxes (and clutches), contained within one housing, and working as one unit. It was designed by BorgWarner, and was initially licensed to the Volkswagen Group, with support by IAV GmbH. By using two independent clutches, a DSG can achieve faster shift times, and eliminate...

he drives veeery differently to me
so mine is all young and sporty, and his drives like an old fart. Unless I drop straight into S, and it's a bit better :P

@TomO'Connor Let me know how it is - that was my only MAJOR issue. The wheels didn't help at all, but as soon as you hti the turbo you were screwed

I need right away
1 server for Tableau
1 server for Sage Asset Management

Both servers are low capacity they just need to be separate for individual applications, don’t forget the Roadnet servers

@TomO'Connor Probably thinner tyres as well, so probably far more capable. No lie - best vehicle in the snow i had was the campervan. Big dirty commercial tyres on it and it was unstoppable :D
